Polyamory Leadership Network

The Polyamory Leadership Network (PLN) is a loose association of people around the world working to advance the public awareness of polyamory – ethical, consensual non-monogamy – as a valid and positive relationship orientation or choice. We work to educate the public and to build skills and resources within the growing worldwide polyamory community itself, by facilitating positive collaboration and networking among ourselves.

The city of Somerville, Massachusetts just passed a groundbreaking bill protecting people from discrimination on the basis of their "family of relationship structure."

Posted @withregram • @openrelating As much as Eu Posted @withregram • @openrelating As much as European colonialism and Christian missionaries tried to eradicate and make us forget all non monogamous and non heterosexual cultures in Europe and in the countries that they invaded, the memory was not lost.

Polyamory in practice today as well as other NM dynamics that serve the people who practice them in being authentically themselves, are a testament to that.

The Sex Lives of African Women contains several stories involving polyamory. It's a good read and illuminating about a subject not often discussed in our Western society, written by

Posted @withregram • @unapolygetically Sometimes Posted @withregram • @unapolygetically Sometimes I hear people call something a boundary when what they mean is “I don’t like what you’re doing and so, if I say this is a boundary, you can’t argue with me and you’ll have to change”. In other words, the term ‘boundary’ can be abused.

But when we use the term responsibly, it is simply a way to say “this is where my limits lie; this is what I need to be well; if we can’t meet each other there, let’s discuss what can be done”.

Unapolygetically,

Ro

Posted @withregram • @polyamproud a flag is wort Posted @withregram • @polyamproud a flag is worth a thousand words—at the very least, far more than the few which are displayed as a shorthand to quickly convey symbolism to a wide audience. 

communicating with the flag selection committee and this flag's original designer, this description clarifies the symbolism included in and intended by our new tricolor's design.

Posted @withregram • @woodhullfreedom Leave it t Posted @withregram • @woodhullfreedom Leave it to our namesake, Victoria Woodhull, to succinctly sum up the importance of s3xual freedom and human rights. 

Victoria Woodhull was: 
🔸 the first woman to run for President in the United States 
🔸 a free lover who said, "I want to love you all and be loved by you all, and I mean to have your love.” 
🔸 was seen as "radical" for her time and left out of the mainstream suffragist movement by many of its leaders, including Susan B. Anthony & Elizabeth Cady Stanton. 

We think Victoria would be a fierce advocate for s3xual freedom and human rights if she were still alive today. You can learn more about how we're keeping her legacy alive through our work via the #linkinbio. 

Photo ID: A neon green thought bubble with the quote, " “I am a free lover. I have an inalienable, constitutional and natural right to love whom I may, to love as long or short a period as I can; to change that love every day if I please.” Below the quote is a sepia-toned photo of Victoria Woodhull. The top left corner of the graphic features the Woodhull Freedom Foundation logo.

Hirsch in English, Spanish, French, Norwegian, Maltese, German, Italian and Hebrew.

Anna D. Hirsch's Metamour Love is the winner of the 2023 Metamour Day graphics contest! Anna’s Metamour Day gallery is dedicated in loving memory to one of her best metamours ​AND best friends ~ Jen Angel ​(1975 – 2023). Buy one of 28 Metamour Day pillows in Anna’s shop and $10 will be donated to OPEN ​to help normalize non-monogamy and protect chosen families. https://ncsfreedom.org/metamour-day-2/

l Día de Metamor es una forma de apreciar el papel especial de un Metamor, la pareja de tu pareja, y de reconocer el impacto benéfico y de apoyo de la no monogamia en nuestras vidas colectivas. Se trata de una apreciación comunitaria de nuestras estructuras familiares, en lugar de una compersión forzada (lo opuesto a los celos, es una reacción emocional positiva a la otra pareja de un ser querido).

Posted @withregram • @multiamory_podcast The end Posted @withregram • @multiamory_podcast The ending of a relationship isn’t always easy to understand. An ending can be particularly difficult if your polyamorous partner leaves you for someone monogamous. Has this ever happened to you? Did that person end up staying in your life as a friend, or did you no longer have contact with them? Comment below!

Posted @withregram • @polyamproud we, as a commu Posted @withregram • @polyamproud we, as a community, are inherently worthy of being safe and loved in the most honest version of ourselves. and a small reminder that living authentically, taking up that space, being YOU inspires others to do the same for themselves.

AND we get to make the choice of who is let into our lives on different levels. not everyone has to OR gets to have access to all information about us. that is ok! be safe and kind to yourself in balancing and managing who you allow into your space. we know not every person and every space is safe for community members to be out, and we acknowledge how painful it is to feel hidden. you are deserving of feeling safe to be seen, you are loved and seen by our community.

this affirmation is somewhat inspired by the teacher who shared the polyamorous flag being posted (alongside other pride flags) in their classroom. 

how many of us wished we had an adult earlier on explain what polyamory or ENM was, and that it was a healthy and safe way to participate in relationships? we love our teachers, we love our community. 🖤

Posted @withregram • @lavitaloca34 Most of my re Posted @withregram • @lavitaloca34 Most of my reminders come from my own life. Currently, I’m dating someone who has only had experience with monogamy. They recently spent the weekend with another person and we had a conversation because they were struggling with the fact that I wasn’t upset about them being with someone else. I told them that just because I’m not upset, doesn’t mean I’m not uncomfortable. 

It was illuminating to me because it caused me to reflect on a past relationship I had with someone who was less emotional about nonmonogamy than I was. They never got upset about what I did with others and that caused me to treat them as if they never experienced discomfort about my interactions with others. I can admit that it caused me to move carelessly through non-monogamy with them because “Hey, they don’t get bothered by or care about what I do anyway, right?”

Just because your partner may not outwardly display their discomforts doesn’t mean they aren’t experiencing them. It helps to keep in mind that non-monogamy is uncomfortable at times for most of us and to commit ourselves to navigating it considerately and intentionally.

Today’s Polyamory Reminder:
Just because your partner isn’t displaying being upset about your interactions with others, doesn’t mean they aren’t experiencing any discomfort about them.
Partners that are “less emotional“ about non-monogamy still deserve consideration.
